Accessing the website at https://www.tradeline.vn/ or Tradeline app built on iOS and Android, users can quickly seek the necessary items for their construction projects from industrial machines to building tools and materials, electrical and water equipment, plus smart home applications.

Also, users can search for useful information about contractors, construction teams, and transportation service providers, as well as how to directly contact them.

Chung said he had more than 10 years of experience working in the construction sector, and had participated in many large and small construction projects nationwide.

He said, in 2016, his company prepared bidding documents for a resort project. He added that seeking a building material supplier with affordable prices was one of his company’s most time-consuming steps. However, his company still failed to take control of the capacity of the supplier.

Therefore, he came up with the idea of creating a technological solution to help construction units, and traders involving in the construction industry operate more effectively.

Currently, Tradeline Viet Nam helps to connect with 3,000 distributors of construction products and materials, along with construction service suppliers in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Can Tho.

The e-commerce trading floor has about 25,000 users with an average of 10,000 visits per day.

Tradeline Viet Nam sets a target of becoming the country’s leading e-commerce website in the construction industry by 2020, reaching more users in ASEAN member countries by 2025.
